Week in Review
File under Week 43 of 2008.
I got a kick out of this picture that I thought looked like Sen. Obama blowing smoke. He does that so well. I know cause I watched his informercial last night. Billy Mays would have been proud.
Obama blowing smoke…
I thought this was clever: What Would Jesus Brew?
Congratulations to the Phillies who, after completing the longest game in World Series History, won the Championship last night.
Fish Dicks and Fucktards (I am not certain if there is any difference) of the Week:
Kyle Zaricor. An infant! How could he?
This 14 year old boy in Columbia, SC who killed his preganant mother and shot his sister.
Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn who planned to go on a rampage concluding with the assassination of Sen. Obama. WTF kinda place is Helena-West Helena Arkansas any way?
The LA Times. Why would they conceal this video? Why would they accept it and promise never to display it? Very curious me thinks.
William Balfour, the repeat felon who may have murdered Jennifer Hudson’s Mom, sister and nephew (his own step-son).
Drew Peterson. It’s been a year Drew; give it up. I am way tired of him.
Nicholas Browning, who shot and killed his entire family. Then he went to a sleepover at a friend’s house and played video games. Nice.
Alaska Senator, Ted Stevens, who was convicted this week of corruption charges. Also nice. You gotta quit Ted.Well the woman in that picture must not have read the news this week about new home sales and the price of gasoline. I paid less than $40 to fill the Jimmy this week. Let’s hope prices stay low.
This had to be the best headline of the week: The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure. Who knew?
RIP to Levi Stubbs who died last week. I actually met him (and the other three Tops) after a concert in Hartford years ago behind some auditorium near the State House. I was one of the few white folks at the concert. Women threw themselves and their undergarments at this man. It was like being at a Beatles concert or something. RIP Levi.
At least Levi didn’t go out this way:
Note the clever headline: Ferrari in Pole Position.
With the Presidential elections (among others) on Tuesday next week, don’t forget to vote. Please remember Joe the Plumber when you cast your ballot and also remember to roll the clocks back this weekend. Happy Halloween!
Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

I got very depressed on Tuesday when I had to scrape ice off my windshield before driving to work. Argh. I fucking HATE winter. This time of year does, however, provide for some nice sports on Saturdays and Sundays. Roll Tide.
Speaking of Sports, is it still the World Series if the world isn’t watching? Go Phillies. Go Rays. Go to town.
FOTW:
Jon Burge, former Chicago cop and chief torturer.
Whoever committed this heinous act.
This naked 22 year old man who got stuck in a chimney.
Kathryn Kelly (if that is even her name) who has now been arrested 73 times in her 76 years.My favorite headline this week: Unlikely sight in Chicago: Orton playing above-average at QB.
In an unrelated football story, this was also a good headline: Old Lady Arrested in Fight over Kids’ Ball. I think the old hag may have a claim for age discrimination here. Who are they callin’ old? Just keep your balls to yourselves and we’ll get along just fine…Here are some of the Palin Headlines and links from the week:
Palin charges for kids travel
Palin Discussed Potential Plans for America
Barack O Lanterns and Palin Pumpkins
Palin looks five times better than Tina Fey
Republicans Spents $150k on Palin’s clothes
Guess Palin’s Alias in NYC
Palin Protestors Sought
Sarah Palin Near Top for Halloween
Jon Stewart to Sarah Palin: Fuck You (w/ video)
Palin & Husband to give DepositionsFrom the “I call Bullshit” files comes this story about an album that has been rumored for 17 years.
Check out these pottys with great views.
There will be no week 43 WIR (unless I change my mind) as I will be in the Dallas area. I hope to see ZappaCrappa whilst in that neck of the planet.
Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

I think we need to start getting serious about his upcoming election. Now first, we are gonna need two good candidates. Here is a potential future candidate and I really liked his t-shirt:
For some reason, Major League Baseball just isn’t the same as it was just a short time ago. Here is a little history on the game and the status of the playoffs as they stand at the moment. I will make no more baseball predictions this year, except to say that the Phillies will be in the World Series. I was amazed that Tampa beat Boston so definatively on Tuesday night. Feste was there!
Here is my favorite headline of the week: Manatee rescuers fail. They shoulda left the damn thing alone.
John McCain should have left Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher’s name off of his debate list last night. He fumbled the poor guys name, calling him Wurtzelberger, then the two referred to him as “Joe the Plumber” another 18 times or so. This followed the VEEP debate wherein Joey Biden made a friend of his, “Joey Danko” famous for less than 15 minutes.
Did you know that the Mexican song “La Cucaracha” is about a stoned cockroach? Neither did I. How can you tell if they are buzzed?
I enjoyed this site, Chuck Shepards’ News of the Weird and will be back for more.
I also enjoyed this “Zack and Miri make a Porno” (NSFW, unless turned down real low so no one else can hear). Read the article too, it makes the teaser (not a “trailer”) all the more fun. I hope the movie is as good.
I spent a little time this week catching up with AC/DC. My oldest kid and her boyfriend are going to see the concert soon. Dang, those guys are getting old too.
Welcome to socialized banking in the United States of America. OMG. Now that we got that all figured out and the stock market has rebounded (but not my 401k) lets get on with socialized medicine and socialized groceries and gas and socialized everything for that matter. Socialism, how we love thee and here we come. OMG.
Fucktards of the Week:
Dick Davis, apparently, sex with him is just a killer.
US Rep from FL, Tim Mahoney. Whoops. Two affairs at once? What a stud!
Jon E. Pomeroy and his crazed wife, Rebecca A. Long who abused Long’s 14 year old daughter and denied her food and water.
Casey Anthony. It’s about time. May she rot.
Kathleen Theresa Allmond, 50, and her 30-year-old son, Tony Ray. O. M. G. check out Tony’s mug shot!
Ringo Starr. He will only accept objects for signing and fan mail for another three days. I am warning you, with peace and love, to get busy and send stuff to Ringo. I am certain that Marge Simpson is writing to him now.Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

Week In Review
File under Week 40 of 2008.
I have no comment on the lack of further post season baseball in Chicago, other than to say: Shit.
This week’s irresistable headlines (note the first three all from Monday and all on FoxNews…):
Baby Found Alive After Four Days in Pool of Mud. Wow. Super baby!
Seven Year Old Breaks into Zoo and Feeds Live Animals to Croc. OMG.
Couple Beaten to Death in Stop Smoking Ritual. I guess there is more than one way to quit…
Half Naked Women Try Out for Football. Great concept and very enjoyable video.
A house divided: Estranged couple’s home cut in half. They took that divorce seriously man.
Double Arm Transplant. This dude will soon be pitching for the Dodgers.Fox News.com is also the source for several of our Fucktards this week:
Myrtle Walker
Quinton Watts
Robert Avery McClain
Anthony Rakis
Robert Willumstad
Orinthal James Simpson makes another appearance as a FOTW for planning his acquittal party just a little too soon.
This Dude (not on Fox):
Michelle Allen. Michelle?…Is that a woman??? OMG.Here’s another fairly androgynous pic that I call Used Blue Condom (for no particular reason other than it was the first think I had when I saw it):
Used Blue Condom. It also reminded me of an article I saw on boingboing about synthetic foreskins. What will they think of next?To answer that question, here are this years Ig Nobel winners.
My friends, did you play the Debate Watch Game? Can we get a couple new candidates? Please.
How about the boyfriend of the lady who was stuck to a toilet for two years winning the lottery? Twice? (Yes, it is from Fox). That’s once for each year his GF was stuck on the crapper.
Got some time to kill? Try this vid from FARK celebrating the anniversary of LSD’s creation. It is much better than I thought it would be.
As a challenge, next week I will not include any links from Fox or Yahoo or CNN or FARK or any local Chicago news sources. I will scour the world of news and the internet and drag up some interesting crap from interesting places. If you have any submissions that might fit this bill, please forward them to me.
Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

Week in Review
File under Week 39 of 2008. NOTE: For the remainder of the year, I am taking Fridays off, so WIR will be on Thursday, unless I deem otherwise.
Welcome to October
How about that Crimson Tide vs. Georgia game last weekend? Roll Tide Roll! They need to whip Kentucky this weekend at Tuscaloosa.
Also, in other sports news, the White Sox won the play in Game against the Twinkies Tuesday night and we are now into the playoffs. They play tonight versus the Phillies. Who has the most pain in the history of sports? You tell me. Unfortunately, the Cubs may have begun their annual meltdown last night losing game one to the Dodgers, 7 to 2. It felt familiar.
In homage, we get underway with our list of Fucktards of the Week:
Nikita Lee Weis. He tried to have his mother killed so that he could buy breast implants for his girlfriend.
Someone should have killed this mother, Renee Bowman before she offed her stepchildren and stuffed them in a freezer.
Vernita Lee, Oprah Winfrey’s momma, who is counter suing a store for extending her credit. I think she exemplifies what is wrong with our financial systems today.
John Lehman, otherwise known as Bank Robber Bob, who robbed the same bank three times. As they said on FARK, “Jesus, look at his eyes.” I don’t know why but it made me laugh.
These Somali Pirates.
These Egyptian kidnappers.
These idiots (Nancy Pelosi and Hanky Paulson) who engineered a “historic abdication” of responsibility on Monday. While I was sorta happy with the failure of the “bailout”, Congress needs to act to prevent a meltdown from happening in the future.
These rednecks, Les Spenser and Tony Pressman:
I did a double take when I saw this picture:
Vienna Veggie OrchestraThe current financial crisis may have gotten worse last night when the Senate voted to approve a new bailout. Notice if you will how they now refer to it as a rescue plan instead of a bailout. Why aren’t we listening to folks like Warren Buffett and Sloel? It seems to me that there are a lot more ideas out there that we should try before committing to letting Hanky P have $700 billion to spend any way he wants. I would like our governemnt to focus on preventing future economic meltdowns versus trying to fix a problem that was created by greed and lack of vision.
Headlines I had to click:
Iranians Mourn Newman. Huh?
EARTH MAY EXIST IN GIANT COSMIC BUBBLE. I didn’t understand it, but I read it.If you aren’t watching baseball tonight, tune in for the VEEP debate. It should be interesting.
Finally, Spazticus and his betrothed jump the broom on Saturday and we celebrate his last day of bachelorhood tomorrow night. Wish us (and the Bride and Groom) luck.
Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

hump-day news update
NASA finds snow falling on Mars
In an unprecedented discovery, NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has found snow falling from clouds on Mars, scientists say.
Theft of ‘666′ Road Signs Hit New Jersey Toll Roads
Is the Garden State Parkway the highway to hell? Or is the New Jersey Turnpike the road to damnation?
GPS Sends Another Driver Onto Train Tracks of Doom
New York man trusted his GPS so much that he apparently thought it was perfectly reasonable to follow the directions directly onto a set of train tracks.

Week in Review
File under Week 38 of 2008.
Again, apologies for no WIR last week. Seems that I can get too busy. This weeks WIR will includes a few nuggets from last week.
Lest we forget:
Ike’s caskets
How about that Big Z? He got busy and pitched a no-no against the Astros in Milwaukee last Sunday. The next big step for him? World Series Glory. His team mate, Jason Marquis, was equally busy hitting a grand slam, driving in a total of five runs and leading the Cubs past the Mets earlier this week to get home field advantage through the playoffs. But no beer in Wrigleyville after the 7th inning? WTF? Here is a little history on the last time the Cubs went to the World Series (and won it) in 1908 (click on MERKLE link and don’t miss page two).
Here is my list of Fucktards this week:
Mr. Thomas Daley (no relation to Chicago’s Mayor Chucky that we know about) who is a landlord was busy videotaping his female tenants; for the last twenty years.
34 year old Carlos Molina who slit his wrists during his trial for armed robbery.
Matti Juhani Saari, the gunman at a school shooting in Finland who was so lame, he initially failed at killing himself. Then he went and died. That’s too bad. That they wasted any emergency medical attention on him that is.
Young David Kernell who apparently occupied himself hacking into Sarah Palin’s computer. I think he was looking for some hot pics.
Joe Biden. May he continue to busily harm himself and his running mate.
Merrill, Lehman, AIG. OMG. Too bad they were not busy watching out for their stakeholders. Now we got WaMu. It seems to me that Bernanke and Paulson are also fucktards. Why are we gonna bail out gamblers who made bad bets (not bad debts)? I see J. P. Morgan and Warren Buffet as the guys who should be doing the bailing out. They are infusing billions of dollars into Merrill Lynch and WaMu. That is what SHOULD be happening; letting the market adjust itself and buyers get in on some good deals while they can. We should simply abandon the bailout concept now. The government should begin to find ways to make sure it does not happen again instead of getting busy with themselves and trying to resolve problems that greed and gambling created.Headlines that I just had to read:
Designer Vaginas Worrying. What do they worry about I wondered?
The Push to “otherize” Obama
Insurance Companies Need a Federal Regulator. LOL at “world class regulator in the federal government”. They are all too busy tripping over the lobbyists to do anything in a world class fashion.
Galveston Residents Return. Very sad.
Obama Waffles
Kinda looks like McCain waffled on tonight’s debate. We shall see if he shows.Oh, I would be remiss if I didn’t post this story about Alabama football. Too bad USC lost last night. NOT!
Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

Week in Review
File under Week 36 of 2008.
Sorry there was no WIR last week. Life interfered.
“Dumpster Muffin” is about to have her life altered. She and others have been in a tree in Berkeley for 21 months and are about to find themselves cut down.
In addition to Dumpster Muffin and her tree-climbing friends, here are the nominees for Fucktard of the Week this week:
Summer ManyWhiteHorses. She apparently took the life of her toddler son and left him in the trunk of her car for months; even while it was impounded by the cops. Wow.
The parents in this story make me sick. They must remain un-named for fear of Satan himself coming to claim them. I think they should be placed in that collider thingy (see below) when they crash the two beams together.
Tom Brady. How could he go and get hurt and damage the rest of the NFL? Pretty dang thoughtless I say. The guy has a charmed life and goes and does something like this. Sissy.
China Arnold (no relation to Tom; at least that we know about) who microwaved her baby makes a return trip as a FOTW. She deserves more than life with 3 squares and a dry bed. She should be nuked and fed radioactive pellets until she glows and explodes.
Abdulla Ahmed Ali, Assad Sarwar and Tanvir Hussain. They planned to take explosive liquids onto airplanes and detonate them. Bastards.
Roni Ron is a major Fucktard for killing his granddaughter, suffing her in a suitcase and throwing her in a river. Plus, he has a fucked-up name that I am certain made his life more difficult (not that it is any excuse for what he did).
Freddie and Fanny and the people who run them. I understand the issues, but I don’t want to see the Feds bailing out private companies that deserve failure.
How about these two Fucktards, Dakota Scott Benoit and John Garland Pierson, who were shot with their own gun? Mr Benoit lost his life from the blastings he received and rightfully so. Well done by the Hoehn family. I doubt anyone will be messing with their lives any time soon.
Barack Hussein Obama and his entire campaign staff are Fucktards. They really blew it attacking McCain’s Veep nominee without any evidence. She is also WAY more experienced at governing that he is. Her private life should be made public so we can all see how cool she is.
Palin Action Figure. It comes with a holster and a gun!
They fired up the Large Haldron Collider this week and it may prove to be the end of life as we know it or perhaps the world itself. I doubt it.
Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of 9-11-01. The pentagon put up a whole bunch of giant staplers to honor the deceased:
No disrespect intended or should be inferred. May they all rest in peace except the chickenshit coward bastards who caused this.From the I Hate it When This Happens files comes this story about a lost body.
Are your musical tastes linked to your personality? This story says yes. Accordingly, I am lazy and comfortable with myself.
The Bears really looked pretty good against the Colts in this week’s opening weekend. Mr. Matt Forte (pronounced For-tee) looks pretty awesome as our new running back. Let’s see if he can continue. Importantly, Kyle Orten did not turn the ball over which makes his life much sweeter.
I am not talking about the Cubs this week, but thanks to the Brewers for having the decency to lose at least one game this week. We did win last night against the Cards.
I managed to fly back from Florida last week between hurricanes. Ike is now churning up the Gulf again potentially affecting the lives of millions. The monster storm is taking a bead on Galveston and could prove to be a disaster of immense proportion.
Looks like Kim Jong is illin. Hopefully it is fatal.
These critters can apparently survive and retain their lives in the radiation and vacuum of space. Wow. Plus they are called Tardigrades. If they could not survive, they would be Fucktardigrades. Here’s a pic:
